With tho Above and additional objects in view, the invention has beenembodied in proferrorlfm'm as illustrated in the. uocompanyingsheets; ofdrawings, to be referred to in connection with the ollowin'gdescription.

in the radiator shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

The base section A. is in the form of a bantainer, bein closed at itssides and ends, the ends, i desired, being provided with short tubes 1for the' withdrawal of watar from the radiator. These tubes 1 areprovided with screw threads 2 which are detachably engaged by caps 3.From the sec- Modification 01 Letters Emerita.

tlon A, extends inwardly. at the top, rest flanges-l. On the restflanges & is soured or rests the bottom or lowermost I3Hllutlng mo tion.Above the bottom or lowermost rudiatm section, may he provided anydoslrod mun or of radiating sections, .on the uppermost of whichsections, the crown seotion C rests. Lowermost section B has at flatbottom wall 5 whichdirectly rests on'the finnges 4 and this section alsohas a flat top wall 6. Tho'three uppermost sections B shown are providedwith raised bottom walls 7, and at each and with rest; wills 8, tho restwalls of the section B abutting the lowermost section B rests directlyon the wall 6 with the adjacent. ruined wall 7 diS- t-once'cl therfmm,and the other rest walls 8 on: seated or mounted directly on the flattop walls of the uppermost sections B, designated 9. The crown section Chas closed side and grid walls and inwardly extending. rest flanges 10which dir'ctl eiwogethe wall l) of theuppc-Imost' section Section's A.B. and {Y are fastened together in on) suitable manner, preferably bymeans of holtg 11 which extend throughthc top and. bo tom andintermediate sections, fimlly through the' end walls of. the sertuon A,the flanggs 4= .'wnlls 5 'qndfifrests ,8, walls .,thu1gros 10 and thetop wall of section C. Xt the and walls'of section A arr preferablyprz'n'ideol stufiing i as 12 through whirhtho holts pass. The Dfilili;or?

m-ot'rrnhly provided with rmuorahle nuts 13 at either or hoth rods. Thetop wall of tion *1 has a short. upst'nncling water-inlet. tube. Hnornmlly Closed by a removable cup 15 screw threaded thereto at 16.

Each section B is provided with water circulating tubes 17, whichproject bey 'onrl the walls 6 and 9 of the three lowermost sections. Thothree uppormost'sections hive the tubes flared outwardly below the walls7 to form hells so as to extend over the joct-ihg' upper ends of the.adjacent till; .scliraotl v thorehelow noel tightly reooiro hetween theouter surface of the pr-c-jeoting ends and the i-nnor suriace or flaredportions, rubber gaskets 19.

It is of opurse understood that as automobile radiators are formed ofcopper," doe to its expnnsible qualities the connections of form ofrating may be provided on attractive, the raised walls 7 at their frontlongitudinal ed e are deflected and extend downwardly be 0W the walls 9and (S of the adjacent sections, forming shield flanges at 20,completely concealing the joint. The flanges at the rear are preferablycarried dowmwardly to form a longitudinal rest flange 21 to engage thetop wall of the ad jacentsections B A 'If desired, a fastenin bolt inaddition to the bolts 1] may be emp oycd as at. 22, being locate] at therear of the radiator and extending through lugs 23 on thebottom andcrown sections, and the bolt receiving a removable nut 24. The watercirculating through the radiator passes through a system ot pipingconnected to nipples 25, one extending rearwardly from each of the baseand crown sections. If desired, any suitable either or both t e'innerand outer faces or walls of the intermediate sections B and to this endas shown in the drawings, longitudinall' extending fins or bars 26 areprovide having between them spaces for the adinis sion of circulatingair to co-act with the pipes 17. p i

As will be understood, the water enters through one of the nipples 25and returns through the other nipple 25, Missing through the crownsection, the tubes and the'base section. From the foregoing illustrationit will be realized that the sections are removably fastened togetherand can be readily disassembled for cleaning or other purpose.Further-it will be realized that the bolts securely fasten the sectionstogether and that due to the joint formed at the pipe flares 18, leakingof theatpter is avoided and that also inasmuch as the upper ends of thepipe 17 extendin tothe flares and are rigid there with due to theprovision of the gaskets 19, that lateral movement of the sections isprevented.

While I have described and illustrated one form of the invention, it isnot to be understood that I limit myself thereto, as changes in thedetails of construc ion may be resorted to without dcparting'fmm thespirit and scope of the invention.

I claim:

A radiator for automobiles comprising a plurality of unit sections, apluralityrof said sections havin raised bottom walls and having rests attieir ends, each raised bottom wall being bent'downwardl at its frontlongitudinal edge to form a siield flange; said shield flangebeing-adapted to overlap the to wall of the next adjacent section toshield the top wall of the adjacent section and also constitute a guidefor stating the section to whichiit is attached, said raised bottom wallbeing bent downwardly to form a rest flange, said restflange beingadapted to rest upon the upper surface of the top wall of the next.adjacent section. thus properly spacing said sections, circulating pipescarried by said walls, the upper ends of said circulating pipesprojecting above said top walls of a plurality of said sections, gasketscarried on said projecting ends, the lower ends of said tube-sprojecting below said raised bottom walls and being flared to form bellsadapted to receive the gaskets and projecting ends of the tubes of thenext adjacent section therebelow.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature ,in presence of two witnesses.ALPHUNSO EMELE.
